KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes

KEGG is a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from molecular-level information, especially large-scale molecular datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.
See Release notes (October 1, 2024) for new and updated features.

New article: KEGG: biological systems database as a model of the real world

New feature: Gene order alignment can now be done either by KOs or VOGs
